Chapter 5 Substitution Reactions in Dinuclear Platinum(II) Complexes: an Evaluation of the Influence of the Diazine-bridge on Reactivity 5.0 Abstract The kinetics of substitution reactions of aqua dinuclear Pt(II) complexes, [{cis– Pt(OH2)(NH3)2}2–μ–pmn](ClO4)2 (pmn), [{cis–Pt(OH2)(NH3)2}2–μ–pdn](ClO4)2 (pdn), [{cis–Pt(OH2)(NH3)2}2–μ–qzn](ClO4)2 (qzn), [{cis–Pt(OH2)(NH3)2}2–μ– pht](ClO4)2 (pht), and [{cis–Pt(OH2)(NH3)2}2–μ–pzn](ClO4)2 (pzn) (pmn = pyrimidine, pdn = pyridazine, qzn = quinazoline, pht = phthalazine, pzn = pyrazine) and sulphur-donor nucleophiles, viz. thiourea (TU), N,N–dimethylthiourea (DMTU) and N,N,N,N–tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) were investigated. The reactions were followed under pseudo first-order conditions as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature using stopped-flow and UV-Vis Spectrophotometric methods. The reactivity of the nucleophiles follows the order TU > DMTU > TMTU. The results of the rate constants for the consecutive substitution of the aqua ligand showed that pzn is more reactive than the rest of dinuclear complexes. The reactivity of the aqua complexes follows the order pzn > qzn > pmn > pdn > pht which was confirmed by the quantum chemical (DFT) NBO charges and the pKa calculations. The results indicate that changing the position or distance of the N atoms of the bridging ligand controls the electrophilicity of the metal centre and hence its reactivity. The results further indicate that the metal centre is activated differently in the cases of qzn and pht, even though both are part of a π–conjugated system. The negative values reported for the activation entropy confirm the associative nature of substitution process. 1H NMR was used to follow the substitution of the aqua ligand by excess thiourea and confirmed the displacement of the bridging ligand in the third step in all cases. The results clearly demonstrate a strong connection between the reactivity of the dinuclear Pt(II) complexes with sulphur nucleophiles and their structural and electronic characteristics. 1
